Research on CEO’s Transformational Leadership, Organizational Identity and Organizational Routine Updating: Based on the Collectivism Tendency

Abstract

Abstract: In the digital era, organizational routines updating is an important source for enterprises to achieve strategic transformation and obtain sustainable competitive advantages. It is also the focus of organizational routine updating and management practice. Based on the theory of social identification, this paper explores the mechanism and context in which CEO’s transformational leadership behavior influences the updating of organizational routines. Through the analysis of 203 matching data of senior management teams and middle managers by statistical software SPSS and AMOS, this paper finds that CEO transformational leadership behavior has a positive effect on organizational identity and organizational routine updating, and organizational identity plays a mediating role in the relationship between CEO transformational leadership behavior and organizational routine updating. And collectivism tendency not only adjusts the relationship between organizational identity and organizational routine updating, but also further regulates the mediating role of organizational identification in the relationship between CEO transformational leadership behavior and organizational routine updating. To be specific, when the collectivism tendency is lower, the impact of CEO’s transformational leadership behavior on organizational routine updating through organization identification will be more indirect. The conclusions of this study will help scholars to understand the potential intermediate mechanism and boundary conditions of the impact of CEO transformational leadership behavior on the renewal of organizational routines, and effectively guide the practice of the organizational routine updating.

Key words: CEO’s transformational leadership behavior, organizational identity, collectivism tendency, organizational routines updating
